I bought the Clarion VX400, dont have any remarks about it as I am not home yet to install it. It is a flip out, but Clarion makes the same unit in a double din, VZ400. I dont think you can go wrong with Clarion. Has the connections for a back-up camera as well. Bluetooth, iPod connection, lots of pre amp out put's.

I believe there are some single-DIN head units available that have a screen and aux vid input. check crutchfield.com for models you like then go on ebay and get them for 20%+ off

Whats your price range you want to be in?
There is dozens of options out there to set you up with.

I would think you might like the Pioneer AVH 3200BT.
This is a really nice unit for the money. Has plenty of the options you want and more to add on later as well. The aux input and sd card slot is on the front as well. Ipod features are great, built in blue tooth and the soon to be available u220 nav add on will give you NAV.

Just keep in mind this is a double din and you will also need to have your bezel modified or attempt yourself. If keeping the stock Bose speakers you will need a harness such as the PAR roem-vet1, brackets to mount it and a gm6 antenna adapter. I can help you will all the just mentioned items as well.

This 3200BT i have for 389.99
add a double din bezel with install kit for an additional 399.99
send me your bezel to modify with install kit for 240.00

these prices on bezels reflect my June sale I have on right now.

PM me or email me for more information or let me know what other units you have in mind.
